Considered quite a rock star in TV news reporting Atom Araullo, who risked life and limb to deliver the events of the catastrophe that was Typhoon Yolanda in 2013, viewers and netizens were alarmed over his absence from ABS-CBN some two weeks ago.

With his heartthrob good looks and movie star demeanor, Araullo, who has 1.36 million followers on Twitter (@atomaraullo), finally appeased fans when he tweeted on August 27: “For clarity. I quietly resigned as a news reporter of ABS-CBN a few weeks ago to explore other areas of media and to grow as a journalist. However, I continue to work with the network and our programs. My political views were not a factor in making this decision.”
